Abstract
Refugees and asylum seekers face a number of
barriers to accessing health care and improved
health status. These include language difficulties,
financial need and unemployment, cultural differences,
legal barriers and a health workforce with
generally low awareness of issues specific to
refugees. Importantly, current Australian government
migration and settlement policy also impacts
on access to health and health status. An adequate
understanding of these ?hurdles to health? is
a prerequisite for health providers and health
service managers if they are to tailor health care
and services appropriately. We include tables of
available resources and entitlements to health
care according to visa category to assist providers
and managers.
